Difference Between Fiction And Poetry

What is the difference between fiction and poetry? A fiction could be a short story or a novel of an imaginary story that someone can make up. Poetry is something that someone is expressing about or feelings. One of the fiction that I will be talking about is “Keith” and for the poetry I will discuss “Divorce”. The stories I’m going to compare and contracts both fiction and poem is how the story and the poem relates to each other, the emotions and tragedy of a lost one, and the settings of each one. This is going to flow into the point of view of both the poem and the fiction, then the setting of the fiction and poem on where it takes place, finally the tone and symbols that occurred in the fiction and poem.
In the book of “Keith” this story

The tone in the fiction story of “Keith” is that the story has a romantic and a hate tone to it. Now in the poem the tone of it is sad because they are married and happy at first, but then after they are getting a divorce and start to hate each other. The setting of the story “Keith” takes place at a high school that Keith and Barbra went to, while the poem the “Divorce” takes place in a court house. In the poem it talks about the symbols of the silver wear, the spoon, table, tined forks, table and the knives. For example in a quote “I want the scissors to be sharp and the table perfectly level when you cut me out of my life”. (“Billy Collins Quotes”) the part of this quote describes what they are going through but it does not specify that they hate each other. It shows that they are mad at each other and that love started to dissipate away. For example in one of Billy Collins quotes it says “I could look at you forever and never see the two of us together”. (“Billy Collins Quotes”) This shows that depending on the outcome of the situation the couple can get really nasty with each other or they can be civil with each other then what a lawyer can do or react. In the fiction story “Keith” we see that there is chemistry between Keith and Barbra they started to have feelings for each other. The point of the story is that the two high school students become friends and start to have feeling for

In the poem the “Divorce” it takes place in a court house for the couple to a divorce between each other because there love has fallen apart between them and no longer feel like being with each other anymore and want to end it before it get worse. At the same time in the story “Keith” they don’t have lawyers that get involved with the relationship ending, while the couple in the poem “Divorce” does. Something ales that can be looked at between the fiction and the poem are the symbols that are used between the two stories. In the poem the “Divorce” the symbols that are used or represented in it are the spoon, fork, knife, and table. The spoon in the poem represents the love and happiness between the couple. The fork symbolizes the love that started to fall apart between the couple where they can’t stand each other and do not want to be around each other. The knife in the poem symbolizes the lawyers that are now being involved in their relationships and are helping to getting a divorce in court now. The table finally symbolizes the love that was once there and is now still and cold herded. It shows that the love is not going to develop or grow anymore in the relationship. This was a good way to use
